Description

Africa


In 2011, Jason Derülo released "Fight For You" with new lyrics, but using the refrain of "Africa" by Toto and using some of the music of "Africa" but with further additions.


This is a very similar case to Karl Wolf's "Africa" which also had a lot of original lyrics and music. So it's not a straight cover version, but should be considered as an adaptation of the original.

The lyrics of the new song:

It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There´s nothing that 100 men or more could ever do

Just like the rain down in Africa

It´s gonna take some time but I know you´re worth fighting for!


OH


I´ll fight for you

EH BA BAM BA EH BAM BA EH EH EH BA BAM BA EH

EH BA BAM BA EH BAM BA EH EH EH BA BAM BA EH


I´ll fight for you


Friends are cool but we both know

They don´t want to see us together

Don´t wanna loos what I live for

I´m willing to do whatever

Cause I don´t wanna see you cry, cry

Give our love another try, try

I bet we get it right this time, time

As long as you´re prepared to fight, fight


I don’t wanna live another day

Without your body next to me

I´m not gonna let them break us down

Cause Baby I know now


It´s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

-I´ll fight for you-

There´s nothing that 100 men or more could ever do

-I´ll fight for you-

Just like the rain down in Africa

-I´ll fight for you-

It´s gonna take some time but I know you´re worth fighting for!


Lets go


What They say, it don’t even matter

They don´t really understand

Without each other we are barely breathing

Let´s get air in these hearts again

Cause I don´t wanna see you cry, cry
